The Wild Flower Society offers a range of grants to support botanical training and plant conservation.
We do NOT offer grants for wild flower meadow development or meadow seeds.
In 2024 we awarded grants of £3650 to ten wildlife trusts for botanical training, £3000 for wild flower activities for children and young people, and made grants of £2250 to research projects.
